I just went there last week with the family and we drove around in the Rambler convertible.

No signs of fights anywhere, just very, very slow golf carts.

Put-in-Bay and Kelley's Island used to be nice places to go until they became "in." We used to go there often and just ride our bikes around the islands for a couple of days, leaving the car at the motel. Last time I was up there, there were a bunch of yuppie bars and things were going downhill. Haven't been back for quite a few years now.

Put in bay's been a party spot as long as I've been alive. In the 70's we were there most every weekend. One year, I'm guessin', 78 or 79,we drove over in the winter, had 2 beers at the skyway and drove home.

The American Indians found out what happens when you don't control immigration.

Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.

Glad I took trips out there when things were more civilized. Probably won't go back.

My son in law was there and said he would NEVER EVER go on that weekend again it was that bad of a crowd. A lot of drug use in plain sight, also large numbers of possible gang members and not a family friendly event.

Yeah Steve, that's what I'd been reading, more or less. I don't expect to physically attacked by a group of people if I accidentally bump into one of them on the boat, or a sidewalk on the island. Pretty sure the bad guys who are illegally armed elsewhere, wouldn't care about the gun prohibition on the ferry.

I know Put-In-Bay has a PD, but whether they could handle a bunch of true thug types is sort of doubtful in my mind. And backup from elsewhere would be a little slow.

Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

A loop hole may exist in that if you take your vehicle on the ferry a gun can be unloaded and locked in the trunk, just rearm on the island.
